Billy Graham ministry coming to Calvary Pentecostal Church Nov. 26

Peterborough This Week

(PETERBOROUGH) Evangelist Billy Graham's ministry will launch its entry into Canada with an event at Calvary Pentecostal Church on Monday, Nov. 26 from noon to 2 p.m.
Initially launched in 2002, My Hope works through local churches to train Christians to invite neighbours, co-workers, and friends into their homes for a meal or dessert. While there, they watch a TV or DVD presentation that features a message from Billy or Franklin Graham, faith testimonies, and inspiring music. Then the trained host or hostess tells how he or she came to faith, and invites everyone to make a similar commitment.
The target date for the My Hope telecast in Canada is November 2013. Between now and then, BGEA of Canada aims to recruit thousands of churches across Canada so they can train tens of thousands of their evangelism-minded congregation members to serve as host/leaders, the organization's press release states.
“Our founder, Billy Graham, although 93, still has a deep concern for people in Canada and the U.S. who don’t yet know the love and saving power of Jesus Christ,” says Fred Weiss, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Canada's executive director. “He has asked us to undertake an urgent and unprecedented effort in Canada to present the Gospel and call millions of people into personal relationship with our Savior.”
The My Hope ministry takes credit for converting millions of people to the Christian faith, including more than 2.7 million in India in 2006, more than 340,000 in Brazil in 2008, and at least 168,000 in Malawi in 2010.
